In October 2019, TMZ reported that Tekashi 6ix9ine scored a record deal worth more than $10 million while he was still behind bars after pleading guilty to nine racketeering charges and testifying for the government against his former gang associates last year.
Now that he's newly free -- he was sentenced to two years in prison in December 2019 but allowed to count time served, then in early April was released early to home confinement due to the coronavirus pandemic since he has asthma -- the controversial rapper is spending a significant chunk of that money.
TMZ reports that Tekashi (real name: Daniel Hernandez) has been buying cars and jewelry while detained at home, where he's wearing a GPS monitor.
